Subject: | Make Sure You're Listed! List of Contributors Published |
in December!
Dear Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! In December I post a
list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists.
Its my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation
for the Lists.
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists
is fast and easy using your Visa, MasterCard, or Paypal account:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Or, drop a personal check in the mail to:
Matt Dralle / Matronics

I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far during this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that
keeps these Lists running and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment
about how the Lists have helped you!
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm new to the Pietenpol list and would like to see a project or flying Piet.
I was at the Copper State fly-in on Saturday this year and didn't see any Piets
there. I live in Mesa AZ and go to Payson AZ quite often. Thank you.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund
Raiser...
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience
has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of
vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists
hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the
Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for
crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free".
The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face
at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics
choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not
"free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity,
air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold
a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send
out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small
contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is
completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose
to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists
running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant
way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you
don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is
a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel
the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution
today and support these
Lists?

Hi Piet friends,
I'm redoing my rudder post as per Jack Phillips. As I
looked at my existing
post it's not fabricated per the Flying and Glider
Manual. My existing one
is done with 1" at the top and bottom tabs. I can't
find a matching layout
in my plans. Can anyone point me to a layout?
Thanks!

Tony here is what I found on drawing 4. I'm more

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wavy Okoume Plywood Leading
Edge
From: "taildrags" <taildrags@hotmail.com>
Bill; yet another drawback of aluminum for leading edges is
that when you bump
the hangar door or anything else with it, you have a
dent. You can sometimes
pop them back out if you can get to the backside to push
them out, but they are
never smooth again. I've seen a case were a builder
wanted to go the ultra-cheap
route and used the dead-soft aluminum that you buy in a roll
at the hardware
store and can cut with scissors. That stuff is
absolutely unforgiving when
it comes to dents.
You can use good aircraft sheet aluminum and it's more
resistant to dents, but
it needs to be a bit heavier and stiffer and that makes it
more difficult to form
and install the leading edges.

Those are tough questions, Jack. :)
I wouldn't be too worried about the tabs being 1" instead of
1 1/4". Since the
1934 plans don't even provide a dimension, most builders
probably just eyeball
it - which probably is what you did. It looks like
about an inch, relatively
speaking. Funny how both the FGM plans and the 1934
plans both provide incomplete
information for this component - but they are incomplete in
different ways.
Not sure why your mounting bolts are spaced at 5 1/2"
instead of 6 1/2". One possible
scenario is that you may have done the calculations, laid
out the part,
cut it, drilled it, and bent it, and when you were finished,
in order to maintain
the required height, that's just the way it worked. If
you were to open
up the bends to maintain 6 1/2", the height would probably
be too short. And,
since you most likely already have the floor drilled,
there's no point in trying
to change it now.
